I would suggest using html, which allows most of the functionality of AGuide,
with the added features (if using Netscape) of tables, image backdrops, and so
on. Html is the text/ multimedia format used for the World Wide Web, so if
you write in it, there are many PC/Mac/Amiga viewers which can interpret the
files.

I am pretty sure you can get Netscape to run on a PC without it being networked
if you tinker with the "winsock" settings.

The other benefit of using html is that there's a number of utilities for 
converting it. For example, I use ag2html.pl, which is a perl script that
happily creates html code from Amiga guide documents.

So, you could carry on editting and creating Amiga Guide documents, then run
this prog, and bingo, a set of html files which do exactly what you original
AGuide database did.

Later !
